Question

In acids and bases, on the ph scale, is a 14 considered strong for a base, while 8 is weak, and is 1 weak for an acid while 7 is strong for an acid?

Answer 1

Yes, Yes, No, No

Step-by-step explanation:

For bases, the larger the number, the stronger the base. For acids, the smaller the number, the stronger the acid. This works because the scale is based on powers of 10 and measures the ratio between hydroxide (
`OH^-`) and hydronium (
`H_3O^+`) ions.
